Laura Osnes - If I Tell You (The Songs of Maury Yeston) (2013)

Broadway's newest star, Laura Osnes -- Tony-nominated for her leading role in Bonnie and Clyde and currently starring in the title role of Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella -- takes on the work of one of the Great White Way's most celebrated composer-lyricists. Laura Osnes: IF I TELL YOU (Songs of Maury Yeston) is the first solo album devoted to songs by the Tony-winning composer of Nine: The Musical, Grand Hotel, Titanic and Death Takes a Holiday. Yeston waited nearly thirty years before allowing a solo disc devoted to his work, but he found the perfect interpreter in Osnes, with her crystalline soprano, her delicate yet devastating way with a lyric, and her youthful effervescence and intensity.
